Dina Manzo, a former cast member of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and her husband David Cantin discreetly filed for divorce in 2025 before reconciling. Court documents reveal that Manzo, 54, initiated legal separation from Cantin, 46, in California on March 4, 2025, citing irreconcilable differences.
Cantin, however, filed for divorce in Palm Beach, Florida, six days later, stating that the marriage was "irretrievably broken." He also requested an unequal distribution of their marital assets, citing his "extraordinary contributions" to their income.
The couple decided to pause their cases and seek a private solution without involving the court. Cantin formally requested the dismissal of his divorce petition on March 27, 2025, and Manzo requested the dismissal of her legal separation filing on the same day.
The couple's decision to withdraw their cases came after Manzo posted photos of herself and Cantin enjoying a vacation together on March 28, 2025.
It's worth noting that Cantin was attacked by a mobster hired by Manzo's ex-husband, Tommy Manzo, before their wedding in 2017. Tommy was found guilty of orchestrating the attack in June 2024 and received a 7-year prison sentence.
